Our Lives, Our Planet.
What does luxury mean to you? The word conjures up images of private jets, expensive watches and the other trappings of exclusive and excessive wealth. Over the top, consumption is damaging the planet, as well as increasing the divide between the haves and the have nots. At the same time the basic necessities, such as breathing clean air and heating your home, feel increasingly out of reach for most people. We want to ask what would luxury that's fair to people and planet look like? How can we move the concept of luxury from exclusive and expensive to inclusive and accessible? And could raising our collective ambition for public luxury offer a better quality of life for us all? We'll imagine what a luxurious public realm could look like and talk to experts to figure out some of the steps we need to take to get there. Join us for luxury for all, the first series of the Our Lives, Our Planet podcast from Global Action Plan.

Saskia Inwood woke up one morning, knowing her life would never be the same. The night before, she learned the unimaginable – that the husband she knew in the light of day was a different person after dark.
